Multimedia health-saving didactics

The digital transformation of education creates an objective contradiction between the growing multimedia didactic saturation of the educational process and the increasing risks to the health of students. On the one hand, multimedia technologies expand the didactic possibilities of the educational environment. On the other hand, the intensification of the use of digital devices as a means of achieving a multimedia effect is accompanied by increased visual load, physical inactivity, impaired posture, psycho-emotional stress and decreased cognitive productivity. This contradiction requires a systematic review and modernization of existing didactic approaches. The purpose of the research is the theoretical substantiation and conceptualization of multimedia health-saving didactics as an independent scientific field. The research methodology is based on the theoretical analysis and synthesis of domestic and foreign research, the historical and pedagogical method and the system-structural approach. As a result, the essential characteristics and determining factors of multimedia health-saving didactics are determined, structural components are established, the boundaries of the subject area are outlined, and methodological principles are formulated. The practical significance lies in the creation of a theoretical basis for further empirical research in this area, the development of methodological tools. The work is aimed at researchers in the field of general didactics, specialists in the field of health-saving pedagogy and valeological education, and practical teachers.
